Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Hydrogels comprising a macromolecular matrix and water may be used for aesthetic fillers, for example, dermal fillers. The macromolecular matrix may include a crosslinked combination of hyaluronic acid and collagen.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A hydrogel composition comprising: (i) about 16 mg/ml to about 24 mg/ml of a hyaluronic acid, and (ii) about 3 mg/ml to about 6 mg/ml of a collagen, wherein the weight ratio of the hyaluronic acid to the collagen is from 3:1 to 7:1; wherein the hyaluronic acid is crosslinked with the collagen via a plurality of crosslink units, wherein the hyaluronic acid is crosslinked with the collagen via a water-soluble carbodiimide, wherein at least a portion of the crosslink units comprise an amide bond, and wherein the composition has a storage modulus value of between about 850 Pa and about 5,000 Pa. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrogel has a storage modulus value of between about 1,000 Pa and about 5,000 Pa. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the collagen is collagen type I, collagen type III, or a combination thereof. 4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the collagen is collagen type I. 5. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the collagen is derived from a human or porcine source. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the hyaluronic acid has a molecular weight of about 1,000,000 Da to about 5,000,000 Da. 7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrogel has a hyaluronic acid concentration of about 18 mg/ml or about 20 mg/ml. 8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrogel has a collagen concentration of about 3 mg/ml, about 4 mg/ml or about 5 mg/ml. 9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is injectable. 10. An injectable hydrogel product comprising the composition of claim 1 . 11. A method of augmenting a soft tissue in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject the composition of claim 1 .
